I goggled you, of course. NIce is a glorious city. I was there when you were celebrating your 150th Birthday for the return of NIce from Italian control to French rule. Now I’m not sure who wears the high heels in your family. No matter. HIghs heel are a fashion statement and fashion is not rational. Many of us are willing to sacrifice dignity, comfort and cold hard cash just to keep up with the fashion of the day. So enjoy flouncing around in your high heels, just be careful walking down those steep hills. Cheers Mathspig

Always glad for more info. I haven’t limited the velocity of the ball for either sport, but rather shown that as the cricket ball is heavier it will cause more damage at the same speed or velocity as the baseball. I have Zumaya pitching at 168.65 km/h. so that is quite fast. Cheers Mathspig

I’m not very fond of sports, etc but I guess this is a real challenge that I like. Of course all what you say here of the mathematical model is correct…. and does not realy explain why many girls (and some man, including Louis XIV) like to wear high-heels shoes. Just to say, I’m a 68 years old Maths professor at Université de Nice, and my students get used to my shoes and, I guess, most of them appreciate!

Wed, 03 Jan 2018 17:05:08 +0000http://mathspig.wordpress.com/?p=834#comment-4130Your average speed for major league base ball pitches is much too low. Most pitches are thrown are fast balls, which is at least 90 mph or 144 km/h. This error puts nearly all of your calculations in error.
